I paint powerful and expressive figures that would feel at home in both the ancient and contemporary world. Taking inspiration from a variety of sources, I have developed a style that is rooted in the passions of antiquity, while being refreshing and raw in its modernity.
Through years of studying the human form - formally and informally - I am able to craft works of immediacy that displays a balance of precise control and gestural abandon. Through that appreciation of the figure, I create works devoid of ornamentation and pretense. Instead of a visually busy piece, they are simple and direct. Minimal, yet compelling.
My work brings with it a bold and heroic presence - an experience best appreciated in person - asserting the primal yet divine nature of mankind, the potent and strange force of humanity.
